I haven't been home all day, then I come home to take a shower and there is no hot water. Not sure how the water situation is set up but it is 6:30pm on a Saturday and I had to take a cold shower... pretty upset...

I got an email today about signing to renew my lease through July of 2020. Not only did this email not contain any information about the increase in rent and why it was going up but it didn't leave any information about who to contact if I had any questions (which I do) or the deadline to renew my lease. It is clear you want me to sign my lease renewal but don't take the time to fix or address any issues the complex has. If I am being honest, I was really excited to move into this complex since it was newly renovated but have been incredibly disappointed with the quality of work...

Both gates on each side of the building on Manhattan with the mail entrance have been kicked in. Why do we not have cameras at least at the gates? I walked my dog Saturday night and noticed the one on the far right on Manhattan kicked in and Saturday at 11:30 in the afternoon the one at the other end of my building was also kicked in and broken and could not be used without squeezing through and it was not broken an hour earlier or locked. More and more this complex is getting less desirable to live in. Packages stolen from me, neighbors who are very rude and loud late at night so my kids...

Thank you for letting us know about these issues. I will have the gates repaired as soon as possible. I know you have contacted the office directly regarding other issues that you are experiencing. Please know these matters are being addressed as well.

It has been brought to management’s attention that some packages have been taken from resident’s front doors. We want to make sure that everyone is aware of these occurrences. We encourage you to reach out to the local law enforcement if you witness any suspicious activity. We have included the Tampa Police Department non-emergency number below.

I believe you are relatively new to the team, so I wanted to give you a little bit of background information you may not be aware of. Thanks for sending out this notification, but actually if you look back on this discussion board you'll see that this has been going on FOR MONTHS. I know this personally happened to me back in November December as well as SEVERAL other residents. I think this goes back to the doors left open. I came home at lunch today to walk my dog and had to close 2 doors that were left open. On some occasions the doors have been propped open by cinder-blocks. I've suggested in previous threads adding a magnet system that forces the door to shut or even an alarm. At any rate, I think I can speak on behalf of many residents, when I say that this has gone on for an unacceptable amount of time and needs to be rectified ASAP.

I am extremely frustrated with this community. It is disappointing that I can no longer get amazon packages shipped to my doorstep without worrying that someone will steal them. Yesterday, two packages were delivered to my doorstep with a picture that confirmed they were left there. Later that day when I got home they were no longer there. Two weeks ago my roommate had the same issue happen to her. I will be having local law enforcement investigate this because steal mail is a federal crime. Perhaps, installing surveillance cameras would be appropriate since package theft seems to be an...

before Christmas Day , I also lost my package from Amazon . Yes, I am worry about it in the future too

I responded to Aja's notification above. This also has happened to me. I think that this has a lot to do with doors into the complex chronically being left open. Hopefully management can find a way to address this since at this point it has been happening for 5 months.

It was brought to our attention that many of the courtyard gates were not closing on their and the gates were being left open. I wanted to let you know that we have addressed this. This morning, we completed installation of all self closing springs and hinges on all gates so this should no longer be an issue.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with anything you may need. We are here to help! 813-515-5925

Do the gates still slam when self closing? The metal slamming together before was really loud and could be heard inside apartments and could get really distracting if people were going in and out frequently.

Yes they do slam and very fast and hard. They are very loud now when shutting and most people let them slam. They are also very tight now when shutting. My little girl was coming through the gate after me and we did not realize they were so tight and it shut so quickly and hard behind her it knocked her down. Can the springs be loosened a little.

When I came home from lunch to walk my dog, two of the gates were open.

I have a suggestion for the gym. There is a sitting area with a couch and chair that is never used. It seems to me a better use of that space would be standards gym equipment like dumbbells and barbells. Would it be feasible to utilize that sitting area for more workout space?

We are beginning to feel very concerned about our safety - today was the second time there have been multiple police officers and police cars in the parking lot on the Kennedy side. Not only are there officers everywhere, but also a forensic unit. This is the second time within a two week time frame that there have been 3-4 cop cars and a forensic unit here, including in an apartment. Please inform us of safety issues within our apartment as we live here and we should know if we need to up our own safety measures and keep our awareness levels high. It is extremely concerning to come home and...

I appreciate your concern regarding this matter and would love to dicuss this with you further. Please contact me directly at (813) 515-5925. I left you a voicemail and look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Best Regards,

Aja Henry

If there was a crime or incident ALL residents should be made aware in the form of an announcement or letter. It is even more disconcerting to see the issue addressed in this way. I too have seen police officers and a forensic team almost daily. Please do the right thing and provide some information to the tenants who live here, so that we can feel comfortable in our homes.

I agree. Please give us detailed information about the crimes related to the apartment and car in the car park. Are we safe here??? I look forward to reading your written explanation of the events and what McKinley has done since to ensure the safety of its residents. Thank you!
